    Yes, magazines with a capacity over 5/10 are what are known as PROHIBITED DEVICES, and have another license which is impossible to get from the RCMP as a regular joe.

    Firearms businesses and manufacturers are able to get Prohibited Devices, although generally it's for law enforcement purposes.

    awesome how they "tergiversate" (to intentionally and deliberately withhold information [essential to the endeavor at hand, with the underlying purpose of misleading others by its omission]) section 3 (2) of part 4 says:

    Paragraph (1)(a) does not include any cartridge magazine that

    (a) was originally designed or manufactured for use in a firearm that

    (i) is chambered for, or designed to use, rimfire cartridges,



    worse than politicians.

    My understanding was 12/5 was only for shorter then 105mm handguns, not magazine capacities?

    Although I could be wrong and if so please excuse me, but having a prohibited license would not give someone the right to legally use prohibited magazines (excluding firearms business' etc. approved for that) if that is in fact your question?

    Finally if Gunrunner3 you're referring to the Ruger 10/22 magazine capacity regulation change of which this thread is about; then as far as I can tell (and Mr.Wolverine who is an expert on firearms subjects like these) this regulation change to the Ruger 10/22 rifles capacity limit is not yet legally changed (as Mr. Wolverine states in the beginning of this thread) in that my understanding is it's not officially on record as being correctly introduced into our Canadian federal firearms laws and regulations data base as of Friday July 29th, 2016.
    .

    I however am in no way an expert on this subject just a fellow firearms enthusiast trying to make sense of yet another example of our fine RCMP spending time and (our taxpayers) money on another firearms regulation that will do nothing to make our streets any safer, but will however make a bigger mess of our firearms laws/reg.'s... (along with making thousands of law abiding firearms owners criminals overnight).

    Cheers D

    The RCMP knows the address of every PAL/RPAL holder but has yet failed to mail out a notice to each and every one of them. They should have to do this each time they "make a law", that should put a little dent in their budget.

    Joe Zasda's letter to MPs re "Year of the Magazine".
    http://dennisryoung.ca/wp-content/up...-Situation.pdf

    As well, I have learned that Murray Smith (Manager, Specialized Firearms Support Services, Firearms Investigative and Enforcement Services Directorate, Canadian Firearms Program, RCMP) was heard referring to this as "The Year of the Magazine" at CANSEC just a few months ago. Allegedly this is a reference to an ongoing effort by the RCMP to limit LAR-15, Beowulf, and similar magazines' use.

    Would like to thank everyone on their replays The gun that I have is a AK-47 in 22 long with a mag more than 10 rounds. When all this started years ago I have to take this gun to my chief firearms officer to have it inspected even with the mag it was cleared by the RCMP

    What Year and Month did the firearms officer look at it?

    - Before 2008
    - 2008-2013
    - after 2013-09 (i.e. after Bulletin 72)

    unfortunately for them is the fact that 95% of firearms will remain UNREGISTERED no matter what registry they come up with,,and a provincial registry isn't worth the paper it's printed on,i know many Quebec resident who will be in possession of BORROWED firearms,no law against THAT,,

    that was THEN,this is NOW,a whole different world today.and firearms owners know full well what the intent is,i can tell you,when the first registry came around,,they thought they would scare gun owners into compliance with threats of jail time,no matter what they threatened,nothing worked,the RCMP where furious at the level of non compliance,and after year after year of them extending their amnesty period,no more than 15% of firearms known to have been in the country were ever registered,LOL..no matter the threats,gun owners even back then knew what to do to keep their property,very easily confirmed by the amount of hidden prohibited gun and machine guns found today that have been hidden by owners for 30 years,so in the world of today,and the easy information age,i doubt they would even get to 15%,so that leaves a whole lot of guns out there they dont know who owns them or where they are,so where is the increase in public safety to come from a registry,,
